Pre-Departure Guidance

The excitement of receiving your visa and Confirmation of Enrolment (COE) is often followed by practical questions about the move. KW International’s Pre-Departure Guidance is designed to eliminate the anxiety and guesswork associated with relocating to a new country. This dedicated session provides you with essential, up-to-date, and practical information needed to transition seamlessly from your home country to Australia.

We cover everything from packing essentials and currency exchange to understanding airport arrival procedures, local laws, and emergency contacts. Our goal is to ensure you arrive in Australia feeling confident, informed, and ready to focus on your studies. By covering these practical necessities before you travel, we minimise potential challenges upon arrival, ensuring a truly smooth and successful beginning to your Australian life.

When should I book my flight, and how early should I arrive?
You should book your flight only after your visa is granted and plan to arrive a minimum of one to two weeks before your course Orientation Week starts to allow time for settlement.
What are the restrictions on items I can bring into Australia (Customs)?
Australia has strict customs laws regarding food, plants, and certain medications. We provide a detailed list of prohibited and restricted goods to ensure you comply with border control regulations.
Do I need to buy travel insurance, or is Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) enough?
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is mandatory for your student visa. While it covers medical costs, we advise discussing travel insurance for lost luggage or flight delays before departure.
How do I manage money upon arrival before setting up a full Australian bank account?
We advise carrying a small amount of Australian cash for immediate expenses and using international debit/credit cards for the first few days while we facilitate the full setup of your local bank account.
